Chapter 323: My Own People?
"These ...... Who is it?"
"The people who are following you, uh, are a windfall......
Ellie explained, glancing at Yumi. Their original purpose was to find Su Wen, but after turning around, they didn't find any trace of Su Wen, but instead slipped to the side of the fourth road of the academy, and they found the three of Ma Lina.
Ellie, who originally wanted to go up directly to say hello, was stopped by Yumi, and under Yumi's hints, she discovered these faint breaths scattered around the three of them.
After observing them for a while, the two determined that the men were following the three of Marlena in an organized manner. Therefore, the two of them directly shot and arrested these people.
Their aura is very well hidden, and if it weren't for the naked eye to see their actions, then even Ellie would only treat them as ordinary people.
After learning about the aura concealment method of one of them, it was much easier to find the rest of them. After all, these people all seem to use the same concealment technique, and the aura on their bodies is extremely similar.
"Speaking of which, there were also people following Yumi just now, we suspect that it is someone from the Ancient Demon Sect......" Ellie put away her relaxed expression and told the three of them what had just happened with a little seriousness, while Yumi also added details on the side.
"But...... Why is the Ancient Demon Sect following us?"
"Wake up and ask. As she spoke, Ellie pressed her hand to one of them's neck and injected a little wake-up substance.
"Wait! in case ......"
"It's okay, these people don't seem to have that kind of egg in them. ”
Ellie patted the face of the man in black, and the man in black gradually opened his eyes after being stimulated by the outside world.
"Who are you and why are you stalking us?"
The man in black recalled the situation before he lost consciousness, and quickly realized his situation, but unlike the gray-gloved man who had ascended to heaven just now, his expression was more serious and professional.
It seems that these people are not honest...... Ellie shook her head and raised her hand, ready to use that torturous toxin again.
Although this toxin can bring great pain to people, this pain is only momentary and does not leave any sequelae on the body, but psychologically, it is not certain.
"Please forgive the offended subordinates. The man in black pulled off his mask and bowed slightly at Marina and Balot, as if apologetic.
Eh??? what's going on??
“...... Are you?"
The man in black's gaze swept over the three people who were not in the Snow Castle lineage, and hesitated. But in the end, he took out a small medal from his bosom and showed it to the two.
When Marlena and Barrot saw the medal, they immediately understood that it was someone sent by their father.
"It turned out to be my own people...... Heidi looked at the expressions of several people, a little relieved, and at the same time sighed that the two of them deserved to be noble ladies, and sure enough, as the rumors said, there were people secretly protecting their usual actions......
"There is a letter on the captain's body, please allow my subordinates to present it to the two young ladies. ”
Seeing that Marlena and Barot had no objections, Yumi loosened the purple chains that were tied to the man in black.
The man in black stood up, walked over to one of his comatose companions, reached out and took out a small cloth bag from the man's body, and in the cloth bag was an even smaller envelope.
Covered with a magic seal with the emblem of the Snow Castle was covered, and it didn't look like a forgery, at least from a distance.
The Man in Black presents the letter to Marina, and in the process, Ellie keeps her nerves on her nerves to prevent the other party from cheating, but judging by the results, it seems that the Man in Black is indeed sent by Warrent.
Marlena tore open the envelope, took out the letter inside, and examined it with the two of them.
"Wait a minute!"
Ellie, however, suddenly rushed to the man in black as if she had noticed something was wrong, and grabbed his hand.
“...... Since you are sent by Sister Marlena's father, then why, do you have a black rope tied to your wrist?"
This black bracelet is the symbol of the Black Rope Society that makes the extremely surrounding areas of the Malenor Empire secret! Even the teenagers and girls who have graduated from the Righteous School do not know that the Black Rope Society exists, and they are a minority!!
In the Markwe area, this symbol, which represents the Black Rope Society, has even become a trend of youth worship!!
However, how could the dignified Duke of Snow Castle's subordinates bring such a thing?!
Yumi's reaction this time also followed, and he hurriedly walked up to the black-clothed men who were still in a coma, and rolled up their sleeves one by one: "These people also have them on their hands!"
"You're the Black Rope Society, aren't you?" the corners of Ellie's mouth twitched, as if she was proud that she had exposed the bad guys' schemes.
But when Ellie saw the harmless and embarrassed expression on the face of the man in black, she suddenly felt that things might not be so simple.
So Ellie turned her gaze to Marlena and Balot, and the expressions on the faces of the two parties were also slightly embarrassed.
"That...... Ellie. ”
“...... Let go of your hands. ”
"This ...... Well, it's someone my father sent......"
Eh???
Ellie was stunned, not only her, but even Yumi and Heidi next to her were also confused.
What's going on?
After two seconds of silence, Marlot and Barot worked together in a tacit manner: Balotte and the man in black stepped aside and discussed something in a whisper, while Marlena stepped forward to explain the situation to the three of them.
“...... So, it's a camouflage, well, a camouflage. As she spoke, Marlena shook the letter in her hand: "So...... Ellie, could you please wake up the others?"
“...... Are you sure?"
"Mm-hmm, don't worry. Marlena smiled flatteringly at Ellie.
Ellie and Yumi looked at each other, sighed, and squatted down to wake up the remaining five people one by one.
Indeed, as Marlena said, these people did not show aggression when they woke up and recognized the current situation. Similarly, they looked at Marlena and the others with a bit of respect.
Ellie then remembered that the little woman Wentini who had wanted to get rid of Marina was the lord of Markwy and one of the high-ranking members of the Black Rope Society!
In other words, these people were sent by Wentini?!Since they have the Mark of Warrent, then, this is the co-optation of the Black Rope Society??
"Well, you guys should go back first...... They want to tell us something. ”
Although the three of them were inexplicable, it was not easy to force them to stay, so after telling the two to be careful, they left first.
"Who the hell are they, do you really want to be the Black Rope Society?"
"I don't know, maybe it's the Duke's guard who has hidden his identity...... Ellie, what do you think?"
"Huh, what?" Ellie scrambled, after all, her attention was on the conversation behind her.
As long as you let go of your perception a little, you can catch the content of their conversation!
Although it was a little rude, Ellie really couldn't control her curiosity. But Ellie didn't think anything was wrong.
After all, with her hearing, if she accidentally heard the conversation between Marlena and the man in black, the essence of it was just that they were talking too loudly......
